if libre writer is hunging all other libre apps hungs too. (eg. calc). You may have open libre writer, calc impress etc. If for some reason a file make libre office to hang, all other sub applications of libreoffice are hanging up. I think this is a major bug. Each application or even each document of libre office must be independently as process. and if it is hanging up, to have the ability to kill only this instance and not the whole libreoffice suite. Version: 7.6.0.0.beta1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 6eab55912fc0e6bcb4b2ca15fd626d54b9346d43 CPU threads: 24; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
it's because LibreOffice is a monolith software. All modules use the same one software core in the same time. One process "soffice" starts if you start any amount of any LibreOffice modules. For fixing this problem someone should rewrite LibreOffice from scratch and it will not LibreOffice but some another software. I'm sure I saw the same report but I couldn't find it

You can run different versions of LibreOffice in parallel, so technically it should be possible to launch each module (Calc/Writer) in different process, instead of using a single process managing every mode; I guess A different story would be running each document in a separate process, which obviously even nicer, but that is indeed different design. > I'm sure I saw the same report but I couldn't find it There surely is a report about this somewhere
